Over 260
people packed into the Grand Hall at the Neal-Marshall Black
Culture Center on the IUB Campus to listen to Pitt's address
on "The Real War". Over 40 people stood for the 50-minute
talk and the 40-minute question & answer period that followed.
Pitt's lecture culminated in a standing ovation from the campus
and community members who attended. Who is this guy??

Pitt's
latest book:
"The Greatest Sedition is Silence:
Four
Years
in America"

This
passionate and controversial book is the work of one of America's
most outspoken
and talented new journalists. William
Rivers Pitt's caustic critique of the last four years of American
government gives voice to the growing tide of dissent and outrage
with America's leaders both inside the country and in the wider
world. Burning with anger, this incisive and readable book
argues that, under George W. Bush, America makes a mockery of
the values of liberty and truth that it purports to stand for,
and that it is now more important than ever to speak out. Greg
Palast: "This book is a call to arms for all progressive-minded
Americans, and anyone who believes the US is charting a deadly
course." Read review.

"Never in our history has a
mob of more feckless thugs occupied
the executive branch of this government. One of the worst things
to ever
happen to this country was to allow these people to use the words, "freedom", "justice", "democracy", "patriotism".
Because those good words become lies when they speak them." --
William Rivers Pitt

"A moment will come on January 20th, 2005. It will be cold in Washington
D.C. A man who is not George W. Bush will raise his hand and swear
and oath to preserve, protect and defend the United States of America.
The words "So help me God" will be snatched by the
wind and carried across seas and mountains to the furthest corners
of
the planet. When that happens, all of the Earth will be joined
together in the deepest and most profound exhalation of relief.
When that
happens, George W. Bush will have become in his absence what
he completely failed to be with his presence: A uniter."
